Put this in C1:

=INDIRECT("'"&ROW(A1)&"'!AB9")

then copy it down to C70.

Hope this helps.

hi I have a sheet in a work book that is reading off approx 70 other
sheets.
I am trying to copy the formula down a column for all 70, but I don't know
how to increment the sheet number. Sheets are numbered 1-70

example: C1 = "1"!$AB$9
- C2 = "2"!$AB$9
- C3 = "3"!$AB$9 so i need to drag this formula all the way
down to C70 and perhaps more. If I drag it does not increase the sheet
number. To cut and paste is taking ages as the formula columns run
through
C- AA with the same problem.

How can I copy/drag the formula down that would increase sheet numbers
each
time.
many thanks
